Standards and research behind this tool, from official specifications to peer-reviewed studies.

Everyday health tracking works best in small, countable units. The US National Academies' Dietary Reference Intakes set general guidance for daily water, potassium, and sodium needs, around which hydration trackers are designed. Step counting, sleep hours, and weekly habit streaks follow the same principle that behavior scientist BJ Fogg teaches: tiny, measurable actions repeated daily are more durable than ambitious goals. Counters make those units visible without an account or an app.
